מַחֲזֶהmachazeh meaning in Biblical Hebrew
a vision, something seen in a prophetic trance · noun (masculine)
Also spelled in English: mahazeh
A man lying flat on the ground, body gone limp, eyes wide open — and seeing. That's the posture the Bible attaches to machazeh.
נְאֻם שֹׁמֵעַ אִמְרֵי־אֵל, אֲשֶׁר מַחֲזֵה שַׁדַּי יֶחֱזֶה, נֹפֵל וּגְלוּי עֵינָיִם׃
“The word of one who hears the sayings of God, who sees a vision (machazeh) of Shaddai, fallen down with eyes uncovered. (Numbers 24:4)”
Think of a time you weren't looking for an answer, but one arrived anyway, clear and undeniable. What was the posture of that moment—were you striving, or still?
